From page 14...
... I-14 This chapter provides a quick overview of the transformational technologies likely to have significant effects on land use and transportation in the coming 10 to 30 years. First, individual vehicle and infrastructure technologies, such as electrification, are described.
From page 15...
... Characteristics of New Technologies I-15 Increased transit use for longer-distance trips might reduce auto trips. The actual effects will ultimately depend on deployment and pricing.
From page 16...
... I-16 Foreseeing the Impact of Transformational Technologies on Land Use and Transportation to which government programs, manufacturers, utilities, and public-private initiatives reduce the initial costs and perceived operating costs of EVs. Implications for Land Use.
From page 17...
... Characteristics of New Technologies I-17 3.1.2.4 Fully Autonomous (Self-Driving) Vehicles The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
From page 18...
... I-18 Foreseeing the Impact of Transformational Technologies on Land Use and Transportation Policy and Planning Challenges. The policy and planning challenges related to AV technology lie primarily in safety regulation at the federal and state levels.
From page 19...
... Characteristics of New Technologies I-19 Emerging detection technologies track wireless devices that people carry on their person or in their vehicle as they move through the system. These technologies include cell phone location tracking (location-based services)
From page 20...
... I-20 Foreseeing the Impact of Transformational Technologies on Land Use and Transportation 3.2.1 Personal Mobility and Land Use Applications Transformational personal mobility and land use applications of new technologies generally (1) replace the need to travel, (2)
From page 21...
... Characteristics of New Technologies I-21 Potential Impacts on Personal Travel. Applications that reduce the need to travel can significantly reduce travel demand as their market penetration and their capabilities increase.
From page 22...
... I-22 Foreseeing the Impact of Transformational Technologies on Land Use and Transportation shared vehicles in the public ROW, mixing light vehicles (e.g., bicycles, scooters) with heavy vehicles and pedestrians, and navigational applications that send traffic through residential areas are significant concerns.
From page 23...
... Characteristics of New Technologies I-23 management of the delivery of government services. Smart city/community applications often are built on a central integrated data exchange (IDE)
From page 24...
... I-24 Foreseeing the Impact of Transformational Technologies on Land Use and Transportation Fuel and labor costs are significant considerations for shippers. Fuel accounts for about 20 percent of shipping cost.
From page 25...
... Characteristics of New Technologies I-25 Shippers will need to expand the capacity of their warehousing and distribution centers to handle the increased surges in goods when platoons arrive and depart. Policy and Planning Challenges.
From page 26...
... I-26 Foreseeing the Impact of Transformational Technologies on Land Use and Transportation Implications for Logistics. The potential cost savings of using UAVs and the improved security of smart lockers will reduce delivery costs.
